Oh RIM. Already back-peddling on the whole 'let's remove sideloading to prevent the Android chaotic cesspool', are we? PR damage control mode engaged: "We're not getting rid of side-loading on the BlackBerry PlayBook OS or in BlackBerry 10." I think I know where the real chaotic cesspool is, RIM.

Easy point: VLC on IOS. Nothing illegal about VLC. The developers said it is fine to use it. Apple refuses to abide by their license terms, and so pulls it from the app store. VLC and the developers who own the software are fine with it, so no copyright infringement. It is just Apple not wanting to comply with their license.
